UX check chrome plugin

21/02/2017by stef

Ah the internet awesomeness. Someone made a chrome plugin for heuristic evaluations. Personally I find this chrome plugin super useful, because it saves me lots of time making screenshots, pasting them in a doc, formatting.. Check it out. It’s perfect for both: a quick more “lofi-ish” design evaluation to communicate some visual design issues and and a more advanced heuristic evaluation – it even supports you with that because it comes directly with Nielsens 10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design. Plus: You can also define your own (client specific) heuristics.

“UX Check makes heuristic evaluations quick and easy. The extension will open up Nielsen’s Ten Heuristics in a side pane next to your website. When you click on an element that doesn’t comply with a heuristic, you can add notes, and a screenshot will be saved. At the end, you can export everything to a docx so that you can share them with your team”

Hello, my name is Stefanie. I am a designer specialized in UX living in Berlin while running my own design studio. Besides I study psychology and co-founded the Berlin chapter of the Ladies that UX community. My basic design phiolosophy/approach is, that I think that interacting with a computer is not that different to interacting with another human being. This is one of the recurring topics of this blog – which is my home on the internet since 2008. Email me if you want to say hello. :)
